Fuck all you can do about a ball like that.

Get forward and defend.

WTF was Nicholls doing supporting him reviewing that? Never mind, Guptill's done fuck all this CWC so it's not like New Zealand got into the final based on his efforts with the bat.

Ticking along nicely so far.

What the fuck was that?

Are you English?

4th generation Kiwi on one side, Maori on my father's side, so no.

Nice try Jinxy McJinxjinx

Doing poorly, we're doomed!

It was an excellent delivery by Woakes. Moved just slightly. Review was halfhearted

[Damo]

What annoys me is that immediately after the decision Guppy was walking off. He got convinced by Nicholls to review. Effectively Nicholls has one excellent review and one terrible one. He better make some runs now.

We have to see off these two for no more losses. The change bowlers weren't as good vs Australia

Their spinner was good.

This doesn’t look like great spin conditions

[canefan]

Kane has barely missed 2 edges now

[No Quarter]

Still plenty of swing and seam. Nervous times.

[Steven Harris]

Remind me again why decided to bat in these conditions..

Stokes and Wood weren't that scary. Australia failed to capitalize

[canefan]

I hope this cloud cover stays so we get similar bowling conditions

@Steven-Harris Trent must be eating his fist right now.

Matt Henry too

[kiwiinmelb]

Fuck this is hard work , not great signs so far

[booboo]

Who else wants Roy to fail badly and often.

What's this shit hugging umpire?

Some professionalism on both sides would be good.

[Damo]

What are the English change bowlers like? I haven't watched much of the English this CWC?

[Mokey]

Unfortunately these two have gone right into their shells and are playing like it's a minefield. Grandmaster Ship-Steadier yet to get his sea legs.

Wood and Stokes are far less scary. The spinner did well at edgbaston but it remains to see if this pitch is spin friendly

They are good but not dangerous, except for Rashid. They do have six genuine options.
